Overview

• LAPD says 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered on Sept. 8 inside a bag in the trunk area of a Tesla registered to the singer after tow-yard workers reported a foul odor.
• The car had been reported abandoned, ticketed in late August and early September, and then impounded as investigators reconstruct the vehicle’s movements and timeline.
• Manager Josh Marshall issued a public statement saying he had “zero knowledge of anything,” pushed back on online claims, and requested reporting rely on verified information.
• A death certificate obtained by media confirms Rivas was not pregnant within the year before her death, countering widespread social media speculation.
• The Robbery-Homicide probe remains active with no arrests; detectives executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills rental linked to the artist and seized electronics, while Texas police recorded a Sept. 18 “swatting” call at his family’s home.
